Bacon Wrapped Smokies

Crappy cell pic, I get it.  I never said this was a photography blog though!

This week I wanted something that I could portion however much I needed because my husband is gone, and it is just my little man and I (and my daughter, but she's a little young for this :) ).  My son loves bacon so I figured I could get him to eat something he's not crazy about if I wrapped it in bacon!


What you need

• Hillshire Farms Lil Smokies
• Bacon 
• Brown Sugar
• Toothpicks (optional)

Here's how to make them

1. Line a pan with foil
2. Cut the bacon in 3 pieces
3. Wrap each piece of bacon around a smokie
4. Sprinkle with brown sugar
5. Stick with a toothpick (I didn't have any and it worked out fine for us)
6. Pop the pan in the oven at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes; mine were in for 25 and some of the bacon started to burn
7. Be prepared to smell heaven when you take them out!

I only used about half the package of smokies and 5 pieces of bacon so this worked out great for my boy and I!  We added mac & cheese to make this a meal, but these would be great appetizers as well!
